The Perfect Family

Chapter 11

I Can Tell You My Secrets


Hermione Granger sat in her hotel room, playing with her cat, Crookshanks. She placed her toy mouse back in the hotel desk drawer once she realized that her cat had fallen asleep. She grabbed her diary and went sit at the window, opening her book. She began to write:

Dear diary,

It's getting so boring here. I wish I could go back home to my room and friends. This room is so dull and empty; I left all of my stuff at home. I should have taken the offer to stay at Ron's for the summer. It would have been a lot more fun if I had stayed there. But no, I was an idiot. My parents love it here; they're always exploring the place. I'm not the kind of person who likes to explore new lands; I just like my home. I want to leave soon.

I hope Ron managed to hear from Harry. Nobody's been writing to me lately, I don't know anything of what is going on. I hope everyone is okay; I don't want them in danger. Maybe Voldemort kidnapped Harry, and all them got captured while looking for him. I'm getting really nervous.

This sucks.

Hermione was about to go back to sleep when the sound of talking came from the next room. She walked over to the wall and pressed her ear against it, trying to hear the conversation. It was her parents.

"Do you think we should tell her?" said her mother's voice.

"I don't know; this is very serious. What if she's not ready for it?"

"But this is her friend; she has the right to know."

"I know, but how is she going to react?"

Hermione suddenly opened the door separating her room from her parents'.

"What are you guys talking about?" asked Hermione.

Both of her parents swallowed audibly.

"Hermione, we have something to tell you."

Hermione knew that there was something wrong.

"Is something wrong?"

"You're friend was hurt." said her father.

Hermione paled.

"Which one? How?"

"It was Harry. He was beaten by his uncle."

Hermione collapsed onto the couch next to her mother and buried her face in her hands.

"He beat him?"

"Yes, badly."

"Is he going to be okay?"

Hermione's father sighed.

"They say he is going to be okay. He's going to have surgery tonight. They say that he will have to learn how to walk again and have some psychological therapy."

"Can I see him?"

"Arthur sent us a key-port"

"Portkey."

"Portkey," continued her father, "He says to use it to get to the hospital."

Hermione jumped up and grabbed the envelope from her father. Inside there was a crumpled piece of paper. Hermione looked over to her mother.

"Is there a password for this?"

Mrs. Granger looked over Arthur's letter.

"The password is 'Pray for Harry'."

Hermione felt tears coming to her eyes as she said the password. There was a small tug behind her navel and she was sent spiralling to St. Mungo's.

Once Hermione arrived at the hospital she went tearing to the elevator, ignoring the shouts from the lady at the front desk. She quickly went up to floor three, knowing that with Harry's condition, he would be in the Intensive Care Unit.

Hermione then ran out of the elevator and down the hallway, looking for Harry's room. She noticed Sirius sitting outside on one of the benches.

"Sirius!" Hermione gasped.

Sirius turned his head to look at Hermione.

"Hermione, what are you doing here?"

"I just got the letter from the Weasleys'. Where are they? Is Harry okay?"

Tears were flowing down Hermione's face. She was scared that Harry wouldn't make it. She couldn't lose her best friend right now.

"Harry is going to be fine. The Weasleys left about an hour ago when visiting hour finished. Remus is talking to him now. We're still allowed to visit."

"I can't see him?"

"No, but we could probably sneak you in."

"We'll get into trouble."

"No we wont. And if we do get caught, I'll say that you're my daughter."

"Ok..."

Sirius grabbed Hermione's arm and pulled her to the door. Sirius pulled it open and they began to enter. Remus was sitting on the bed, holding one of Harry's hands. He was whispering to him in a hushed voice. Harry was smiling.

"Harry?" asked Sirius.

Both Harry and Remus turned to look at them. Harry's eyes brightened as he saw that Hermione had come to visit.

"Hi, Hermione."

"Hey, Harry."

Hermione slowly walked up to her friend as Remus got up and followed Sirius out of the room. Hermione lay down next to Harry on the bed and began to stroke his hair.

"How are you feeling?"

"Better than when they brought me here."

Harry turned over a little so that he could face Hermione, a look of pain on his face. Hermione was crushed to see him in pain but hid it by helping him.

"You okay?"

"I'm fine."

An uncomfortable silence filled the room only to be broken by Hermione.

"Harry, I just wanted to tell you that I will always be there for you."

Harry looked over to her, obviously touched by her words.

"Really?"

"Really. I'm always going to be here for you, helping you get through everything. I will help you with your disability while you have it, and make sure that you get through it. I'll always be there."

"You're really going to help me?"

"Of course, Harry; you're like a little brother to me. You don't know how much you mean to me. You're so important in my life; I want to help you, I know you'd do the same for me. You would right?"

"In a second."

Hermione smiled largely.

"You're the best friend in the world you know?"

"As are you. It's great to know that I have someone to talk to. Ron isn't exactly the greatest person to express feelings to. I'm so grateful to have a friend like you. Thank you so much!"

"It's really no problem Harry. I would skip out of helping you and being with you for the world. I love you so much, you know."

"I love you, too."

"I'll always be helping you. When you graduate, become and Auror, marry Ginny-"

"Hey!"

"Harry, you know it's going to happen."

Harry blushed furiously.

"No it's not."

"It so will!"

Hermione began to laugh as Harry buried his head in his hands."

Suddenly the door opened and Remus entered the room.

"Hermione, I think you should get out now. A Healer is coming. Sirius is trying to keep her from seeing you," he laughed.

Hermione got up from the bed.

"Goodbye, Harry, Ill see you later."

"Goodbye, Hermione."

Hermione bent down and placed a kiss on his cheek. She smiled and left the room. Remus came closer to Harry's bed.

"Sirius and I have to go now. We have to talk some stuff over with Dumbledore. We'll be back later for your surgery. Promise."

Harry smiled.

"Thanks, Professor."

Remus gave Harry a small hug.

"Bye."

Remus waved and left the room.


A/N: Please review.

Feedback:

KChan: Lol! I am a hippy. Lol, my friends call me that. I'm obsessed with sixties and seventies music and I LOVE bright colours. My friends and me are hippies. I always have little peace signs stamped onto my arms or flower stickers on my cheeks. My special sign is John Lennon with a little peace sign on it. Sixties RULE! Lol! I added you to my MSN. My address is

HecateDeMort: Woo hoo! I'm great. Lol!!! Thank you!

Niahiem Davids: Omigod! One of those was your birthday? You were born on February 24th or October 9th? Holy crap you're lucky!!! Those were the birthdays of my two favourite Beatles. John on the 9th of October and George on the 24th of February. Which is yours? I'm obsessed lol!

Tenshi no Hikaru: Yay! Grade nine. I'm a little scared. I'm going to be a SENIOR! Woo hoo! Third year of high school! Yeah!! Lol, I can't wait!

Eric2: I was thinking of Sirius stupefying Remus (Remus wouldn't want to do it) and placing some sort of spell over him to make him look and feel dead. The Sirius would be like 'Voldemort killed him!' And then Harry would think it was his fault and Sirius would take off the spell and start laughing, hurting Harry's feelings. I have this bad habit of thinking up little stories in my head and watching them for a while, and sometimes I also come up with a story to it. That's where I got the idea from.

opal: I try as hard as possible to make them go together, but lately I haven't had as much time to stay on the computer so I've been doing them a little faster, so they ended up a little weird and off. Now that it's the summer and there are no more exams, I finally have more time to type these stories (it took a while to update because one of my stories were bad and I was blocked from my account for a week.)

SkadiWinter: Oh yeah, that was a typo. It was supposed to say thirty-five. I changed that though.

ZombieGurl98: Remus is by far my favourite, then Sirius. And then Harry, and then Ron, and then George(lol, George is my nickname), and then Snape, and then Draco. Lol!

Hp-Azn: Fluffy, fluffy chapter! Yah llol!

Sexy Black: Here's your feedback...(Feedback)...

lyss33: It was thirty five, not twenty five. Typo.

HOBOrules: Lol, the Beatles ROCK! My favorite song is 'Savoy Truffle' at the moment. Lol!

Manutjuh: Yay! I feel oh so very loved!

Sarya San: I love male slash; it's the best. Especially when it's in anime. I sent it to my beta to annoy her all the time. Lol, she hates it.

ChibiYugiYasha: The sitar is an Indian instrument. It looks a little like a guitar but it sounds completely different. The sound is so soothing. The Beatles have it in some of their songs. George learned how to play it from Ravi Shankar; an Indian with a lot of experience in it. It's great.

kicksomeass: My friend was the one who saw it and she told me all of the stuff she heard.

Gabriela13: I love Sirius and Harry fluffy moments. It's cute and happy. Lol!
